Book is good enough for the type of writing. It is not really a YA book but more of a kid’s book with dark strokes at times.
Overall is quite entertaining and I can see the appeal for this book.

Don’t really know if I’m all that invested into the saga to continue with the next one (most likely yes) but is worth mentioning that it didn’t envelop me enough to make me want to keep consuming it like crazy

There's a lot of complains about this book; honestly I enjoyed it quite enough. Didn't feel it was slow (but I was listening to it as an audiobook) and didn't have trouble following allegiances nor the rest of the political schemes.

Ends with a good enough cliff hanger making me want to read the sequel

Wasn't expecting much from this book to be honest.
The beginning is like an Oliver Twist boring story and drags for a wee to long; but right after that it gains pace quickly and goes full speed into fantasy GoT-esque story.

Like quite a lot hope the story is told by multiple characters giving it a different edge without having to retell the same thing from multiple angles but instead moving the story forward all the time

Good book. Keeps you interested most of the time. Perhaps a wee parts could have been shorter but all in all is enjoyable.

Reads like a mix of
- The Slow Regard of Silence Things
- The name of the wind
- To kill a mockingbird
- The Crucible
- And a pinch of: Brokeback Mountain

Ok-ish book. It is somewhat ruined by the incessant need to portray the US as the best country in the world with the best army, intelligence and "freedom" and how Russia is crap :/

Feels written in the cold war era
